Drawing its inspiration from bar led comedies such as Cheers and the caustic humour of Father Ted, Elliot Hegarty’s County Kilburn is the funniest film about the Irish in Kilburn ever made. Along the kilometre stretch of Kilburn High road, there are twenty-eight pubs: that’s one every thirty-six metres. Populated predominantly by the Irish, this area has come to be known as County Kilburn.Here we witness the loves, lives and laughs of a disparate group of dreamers, losers and ever hopefuls. Elliot Hegarty has since become one of TVs sharpest comedy directors with shows such as ‘The Kevin Bishop Show’ and ‘Star Stories’. Featuring music from – Ultravux, Killing Joke, Shane MacGowan, Merle Haggard, Andy Williams and Toots and the Maytals – and a guest appearance from Paul O’Grady.
